samba - Jan 2013 - samba 4 samba-tool user encrypted password

Hello,

thanks with the good job with samba 4.
I was wondering, is there a possibility to use an already encrypted password
like sambaNTPassword or {SSHA} encrypted password with samba-tool user command ?

Regards,
Serge Conrad

We need the plaintext because we need to make not only arcfour-hmac-md5
key (the unicodePwd, the NT hash), but also AES keys and (if configured)
DES keys.

You can set only the unicodePwd if you must, to the NT hash value, but
not a {SSHA} value.  You cannnot currently do this via tools, but see
discussions on this list for examples of code that can set the magic
flags to allow this.
